The SamKnows Cloudflare Platform

What this post added

This post details SamKnows' successful implementation of their measurement server software using Cloudflare Workers. They rewrote their server-side software in JavaScript to run on Cloudflare's global network, enabling measurements in new locations and leveraging Cloudflare's connectivity. The implementation supports TCP download and upload speed tests, and round-trip latency/packet loss via ICMP, while adhering to Workers' resource limits. Performance testing showed comparable results to existing infrastructure, with some markets showing improved routing via Cloudflare.
